Welcome to Mathnasium of West 72nd Street

Hello. I'm Katie Brookoff, one of the Educational Directors of Mathnasium of West 72nd Street, your neighborhood math-only learning center. We help kids in grades 2 through Algebra 1 (K through 12 at other Manhattan locations) understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them.

When math makes sense, kids leap way ahead – whether they started out far behind or already ahead in math. Our formula for teaching kids math, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math for over a decade across 800+ centers in the US and Canada:

We pinpoint your child’s learning needs, meet them where they are, and take them where they need to go.
Mathnasium instructors use our unique assessment process to determine (with great accuracy) exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master. It doesn’t stop there – our encouraging instructors continually check progress along the way to make sure kids truly understand and retain the concepts we’ve taught. The results are transformative – kids will see measurable changes in attitude, confidence, and school progress.

We will help your child overcome homework frustration.
Our instructors will also set aside time to provide homework help. We help kids understand the homework assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home – underscoring their understanding of concepts and transforming homework frustration into a welcome challenge.

About Our Center

West 72nd Street is one of 5 Mathnasium of Manhattan centers, which also owns the UWS, UES, Midtown East, and Union Square locations. Since 2008, we've had the pleasure of teaching Manhattan kids to think like natural mathematical thinkers and become "Crazy About Math!"

Mathnasium has been instrumental to my daughter’s overall learning and understanding of mathematics. The people have always been cordial and friendly. My daughter thrives academically due to the efforts Mathnasium has instilled in her. I highly recommend their services.

My ten year old son has been going to Mathnasium since the summer and he has not argued about going, not even once. He just loves it. They know how to engage children. They hire the right teachers. They make learning fun. My son was doing Kumon and he hated it. The homework was so annoying. He would hide it and we would fight about it. My recommendation is start early. My only regret is that I didn't start him 5 years ago.

My son Sebastian has been attending Mathnasium for some 5/6 weeks and absolutely loves it. His enthusiasm to attend Mathnasium, his delight to express what he has learned and how many stamps he has collected has surprised us greatly. He has always had an aptitude for maths and this has been even more pronounced since his time at Mathnasium. All teachers are kind and friendly and fun!

Mathnasium is an enjoyable and incredibly well-organized way for kids to get better at math. There is a positive, welcoming energy at each location that helps kids relax and dive in to their math work. My kids went from feeling negative about their math skills to feeling empowered and positive about them. Tim, who manages the Upper West Side locations, is incredibly helpful and responsive and has made our experiences with mathnasium successeful.

My kids look forward to their classes every week. They love learning learning new tricks to help solve problems. My daughter says it’s a lot of fun especially the word problems. My son loves the teaching method and being challenged.

Mathnasium is an excellent way to keep your kids on track with math. It's extremely well organized and thought out, and the kids fortify their skills and gain confidence. We have had
three kids with varying math skills benefit a great deal from what Mathnasium offers.
Thank you!

Whenever one of my kids need extra help with a topic in math that they may be struggling with in school, the teachers at Mathnasium are always ready to help them. It's great to know that although my children have their lessons that they are working on at the center, when I e-mail with any concerns, someone always gets back to me ready to help with any problems my kids may need some extra help with.

We have recommended Mathnasium to friends. Like us, they have been extremely pleased with the work done and progress made in mathematics. The teachers are warm and encouraging and extremely positive about math. That's what we love most about Mathnasium - its cool to love math!

A friend of mine told me that it was the best thing I could do to end my daughter's problems in math. They addressed exactly what she needed to feel confident and up to the challenge. Unfortunately we are moving abroad and she won´t be able to continue, but I'm sure that these three months of hard work at Mathnasium will go a long way... The change in her was incredible... I never thought she would be doing the things that she does after three months! I´m really grateful!!!!

I appreciate you guys being flexible with scheduling and last minute changes. Having 3 kids with color coded schedules, it helps a lot. We haven't seen a significant improvement on Maya's math skills yet but I will give it more time to judge that. A bit more communication about where she is would be nice, like a monthly progress report from the instructors.
